Down to three
 

Losi or Mugen or X-ray.Truggy

Buggy I'm assuming? Truggy maybe?

Losi for quality as well as availability.

I think XRay is the top dog in overall quality - followed very closely by Mugen. Losi isn't in quite the same class as XRay or Mugen in this category(Losi is good, but Mugen excellent and XRay is the gold standard). Losi is likely the most "available", followed by Mugen. Either of the 3 can win on race day.

I know your working on a x-ray kit what up your sleeve.

My arm. :)

MBX6 kit in the works as well FYI.

That's what wanted to here. Cool.

MBX6 for me!! No way Losi is in the same league when it comes to quality

I've got a question about general build quality of the Xray. I have an XRay XT8, which I got brand new (from eBay) CVDs/cups. I also have an Ofna Hyper 8 buggy. I've noticed the dogbone pins and the slot in the outdrive cups wear a lot faster on the XRay than the Ofna. Of course, the drivetrain strain on a buggy is a lot less than a truggy, but was curious what people thought of the "Hudy" parts on the XRay. Other than that, I don't see a whole lot of quality difference really.

So if i get a X-ray or a Mugen and you guys get your parts straight i wont be disappointed.Right.

well this is my rundown.
get what your lhs stocks parts for.
i can almost guarantee that they have losi parts.
my lhs carries losi and mugen and soon xray. but if your a inet buyer then the xray is going to be tops followed closely buy mugen then losi
hey Brian my drive pins are worn out too...
what other truggy shafts fit the xt8 besides hudy?

I am not very familiar with xray, but can say that my various ofna hyper products (7 8 and st) are better than any of the losi, HB, hpi, jammin, mugen and pretty much anything else I have played with. Their mechanical stuff just lasts, and the plastic parts are very well made too. Maybe just me but I like the hyper line.

BTW if you manage to break a xray or mugen the price of parts is insane!
losi parts are cheaper

X-RAY
My 2 cents;
I never owned a Hyper/Hobao/Ofna until my new purchase of the Hyper 9E, I'm thoroughly impressed with qaulity and fit of parts. The assembly is second to none of all the RTR's and ARTR's I've bought. There was copius amounts of lock tight where needed and not a loose screw on the entire buggy. The diffs where filled to the proper level, the hard anodized stuff looks top notch and the plastics are showing a lot of promise also.

I just finished my mbx-5T conversion Mike....waiting on your 6t chassis so I can have the first 5.5T:yes:
